Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Evaluation of tolerability and safety of Ig VENA administered at high infusion rates
    Protection of trial subjects
    According to the study protocol: "Each infusion will be conducted at an increasing rate as follows: • 20/30 minutes at 1 ml/kg/hr, • 20/30 minutes at 2 ml/kg/hr, • 20/30 minutes at 4 ml/kg/hr, • 20/30 minutes at 6 ml/kg/hr, • Until the end of the infusion at 8 ml/kg/hr The rate of infusion will be increased only if the patients did not present side effects in the previous infusion speed. For AEs that occur during infusion, the following data will be recorded: - infusion rate in effect at the time of AE onset, - time of onset of AEs and - time of AEs change materially in intensity and/or resolve If an infusional AE occurs during the infusion, the study staff will decrease the infusion rate every 15 minutes until a rate at which symptoms have subsided is reached. Should the reaction become intolerable, the infusion will be stopped. The subject will exit the study and go back to the treatment schemes adopted and tolerated before his entrance in the study. In case of Adverse Event, patients will be managed according to the instructions given in the product SmPC and standard practice at the site".

    Dosage ID patients 0.2-0.8 g/kg (as reported in the SmPC). Subjects had to receive a total of 3 infusions of the IMP according to their treatment scheme (every 3 or 4 weeks ± 4 days) as follows:  3-week scheme: - Week 0/Infusion 1 (day 0); - Week 3/Infusion 2 (day 21 ± 4) - Week 6/Infusion 3 (day 42 ± 4)  4-week scheme: - Week 0/Infusion 1 (day 0); - Week 4/Infusion 2 (day 28 ± 4) - Week 8/Infusion 3 (day 56 ± 4) ITP patients The two alternative treatment schedules reported in the SmPC were allowed:  0.8-1 g/kg given on day 1; this dose could be repeated once within 3 days, or  0.4 g/kg given daily for 2 to 5 days. Method of administration Infusions started at an initial rate of 1 ml/kg/hr for 20 minutes. If well tolerated, the rate of administration could be increased to a maximum rate of 8 ml/kg/hr (2 ml/kg/hr; 4 ml/kg/hr; 6 ml/kg/hr; 8 ml/kg/hr) at 20/30 minutes intervals (depending on dosage and/or body weight the patient could not reach the maximum infus

    Date
    Amendment
    12 Nov 2013
    Protocol Amendment No. 1 was generated following requests of Ethic Committees from Germany (Hannover EC), and updated the study period, gave further specifications on exclusion of patients unable to provide the informed consent, and added the SF-36v2 Quality of Life Questionnaire both at Screening and Follow-up visits for ID and ITP patients. This Amendment was approved by German CA only (not by Italian CA)
    19 Dec 2013
    Protocol Amendment No. 2 was generated following requests of the Italian Health Authority (AIFA), and updated the study period, gave further specifications on the objectives of the study, on inclusion/exclusion criteria, on dosage and mode of administration of the IMP, added the SF-36 questionnaire, and corrected some other minor items on statistics, management of adverse events and references (some of changes above reported were the same requested from German EC and included in the Protocol Amendment 1
    14 Nov 2014
    Protocol Amendment No. 3 was generated following requests of Ethic Committe from Germany (Hannover EC) and from German CA (PEI), and updated the Statistical Analysis Plan (attached to the Study Protocol).
